Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 cup warm water
1 tsp ground cinnamon (for dusting)
Oil (for frying)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, and salt until boiling. Remove from heat and stir in flour and baking powder until well mixed.
Let the dough cool slightly before transferring it to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small rounds onto parchment paper.
Heat oil in a deep skillet to about 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping in a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry piped dough in batches until golden brown (about two minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.
While warm, toss churros poppers in cinnamon sugar before serving.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady for perfectly fried churros.
Try adding vanilla extract or nutmeg for an extra flavor twist.
Serve with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.
